The Sheffield Wednesday man was criticised by some of the Hillsborough faithful for his display for the Owls today.
A number of Sheffield Wednesday fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Sam Hutchinson’s performance for the Owls in their Championship win today.
The 30-year-old, who was on eight yellow cards this season ahead of the Hillsborough side’s trip to Charlton, once again found himself in the referee’s book for a challenge on Erhun Oztumer 25 yards out, though in his defence it was a little harsh.
Hutchinson had to tread the tightrope afterwards and was lucky not to get a second yellow for a later challenge on Oztumer, while further up the pitch he miscued a good chance just after the hour mark.
His afternoon came to an end on 77 minutes when Garry Monk took him off for Massimo Luongo, and during and after the game, a number of fans had their say on his performance on social media:
Sheff Wed took the lead in the 17th minute through Steven Fletcher’s header following Barry Bannan’s cross, but just nine minutes later, Macauley Bonne restored parity.
The Owls, however, regained the advantage in the latter stages of the game when Fletcher scored an 80th-minute penalty, Jacob Murphy having been brought down by Oztumer in the box.
Monk’s charges ultimately sealed their first win in six games in deep into of injury time when Bannan crossed for Atdhe Nuhiu to slam a header home.
